I just found this and being as we are hoping to move in a few months this is a great idea.... I'm only behind by 440 items.... Probably could get that as i'm going through the toddlers cloths and the change of seasons with mine and my husbands cloths.... (especially since i have all of last years cloths from my daughter in the basement waiting for a garage sale that never happened last year).

Last night I went through my closet and all of the pre-pregnancy, maternity, and post-partum clothes stored there (4 huge boxes worth). I also cleaned out my dresser. Now everything is out of boxes and either hanging in the closet (hangers reversed so I can tell what I'm actually wearing), trashed or donated.

This was a huge undertaking and I ended up purging 163 items including 4 bridesmaid dresses, 1 coat, a dozen bras, 2 dozen underwear, a dozen pairs of pants/jeans/skirts, and piles of shirts/tanks etc. I just have to go through my shoes and then that area is done for now. I think there will be a secondary round of purging in about a month as my weight settles and the sting of removing all those clothes wears off.

I'm still here, not really purging though at the moment. The house is a wreck because of renovations so it's too difficult to go through things. I have no upstairs kitchen, diningroom, livingroom or hallway. So everything that was in those rooms are in my other 3 bedrooms so everything is very very tight at the moment. Seriously can't wait until this is over.

Donated about 60 articles of clothing and took about 10 items to consignment and gave 7 peices of kids clothes away to a friend. And I mailed my sister a large frb of clothes, books and some prunes that I know she'll like and just would have gone bad here and a splat mat.

oh, and puppy helped me purge the spare phone charger... I realized I really didn't need it once he gnawed the head off.
